Having problems with your Acer PC Laptops ?

How do I attach my mission speakers to my aspire 5100? I have lost the manual and there are no twin-plug openings (I'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to the technical stuff)

Answers :

Trying to catch up here...Twin-Plug....are you asking for Left and Right channel? Laptops have a mini-din female plug for audio out. Usually used for headphones, but if you have powered speakers that will work too. You can get and adapter that will plug into the mini-din that will split your channels into something other than a mini-din....say RCA (Left and Right) (+ and -) (Red and White) ....whatever..., but you will have to know what your plugging into it. If you are using self powered stereo speakers that were not made for this you will need an adapter...Try any online Audio/computer place....CDW.COM....Tigerdirect.com....etc. Or a local electronics store.
